About this album

Chariots of Fire is Vangelis’s most iconic soundtrack, a score that turned electronic music into mainstream inspiration. Written for the 1981 film and built around the instantly recognisable title theme, it balances propulsive synthesisers with reflective cues such as “Abraham’s Theme” and “Eric’s Theme”. The result helped define the modern film score: elegant, emotional and unmistakably contemporary. Beyond its Oscar-winning reputation and international chart success, the album became one of the best-known instrumental releases of the era, confirming Vangelis as a major voice in both electronic and screen music.
